Cube

Cube builds and opens isolated development workspaces with Podman or Docker.

Usage

go install github.com/scirats/cube/cmd/cube@latest
cube init workspace.exo
cube start workspace.exo

start accepts a configuration file and runs the container engine without a shell. Repository URLs must use HTTPS and must not contain embedded credentials. Credentials are intentionally not read from or written to the workspace configuration; use the engine's credential helper or SSH agent instead.

Configuration

deps ["npm", "nodejs"]
workspace "https://github.com/scirats/scirats.git"
dots {
	repo "https://github.com/heaveless/dotfiles.git"
	ext {
		git {
			config {
				user {
					email "user@scirats.com"
					name "example name"
				}
			}
		}
	}
}

Dependencies are validated as Alpine package names. The generated image is pinned to Alpine 3.22 and installs packages with apk --no-cache.
